GUARD AGAINST HARRISON DOOM Distribution the Honor at the Coming t'ouvcntioifOrgnui iution Committee of McKinley League Will Look Alter the Colored Delegates. St. Louis, June 9. This city tonight Is the camping grounds of a great army on the eve of battle. . . The McKinley hoots, overpowering In numbers and contldent of victory, await the issue complacently. The outlylnsr camps dedicated to "favorite sons" have but the shadowy hope that some thing unforeseen may happen to turn the tide of battle In their favor. The Reed men, the Allison men, and In fact all other than McKinley men re fuse to give a roster of their pledged delegater and refer vaguely to breaks on the second ballot Lieutenants of the Ohio man answer this by suylng tuere will be no second ballot. Ther was some nebulous gossip, late this evening, touching combinations to prolong the contest, but all efforts to resolve this Into certainty met with the reply: "Walt until after Manley comes." One unpleasant feature that promised to embarrass the local committee of entertainment Is hapily arranged to the satisfaction of all. The negro delegates upon their arrival will lind good quar ters provided for them and prompt and civil atentlon at a MiMt-cluss hotel. Judge Long, of Florida, and Committee man Hill, of Mississippi, received these assurances tonight and expressed them selves satisfied. These gentlemen came In advance of their delegations and discovered that through some misun derstanding their colored delegates were not provided for, but are now sat isfied that the local committees will carry out every promise. The prominent arlrvsls tonight In cluded Jos H. Manley, of Matne;Senator ('.ear, of Iowa; Senator Hansbrough, of North Dukota; Senator Slump, of Idaho; Chairman Thomas Carter, of Montunn; J. S. Hammer, National com mitteeman Irom Indian territory; Wright Cuney, dclegate-at-bvge from Texas; J. R. Lynch, delegute-at-large from Mississippi; T. I. Klordan, of California; Powell Clayton, National committeeman from Arkansas; W. H. Scott, West Virginia: Isauc M. Potter, Rhode Island, and W. U. Hearst, of Cullforuln. Chairman Munley was visited to night by score of politicians all eager to press claims of various ports, but Mr. Manley pleaded fatigue from his long Journey and retired early. PROBAULE CHAIRMEN. Cleveland, June 9. Backed up by the slate made by McKinley's inanagor, Hon. C. W. Falrbunks, of .IuClar.apoMa. will be made temporary chairman of the St. Louis convention and Hon. John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, will be perma nent chairman, i These (elections come In th? nature of a surprise, as neither had been promi nently mentioned during the canvas rr the pMiitions. It had been understood; that the selections would be either Mer rlam. of Minnesota, who refused the honor a month ago; Uulkeley, of Con necticut; Alger, of Michigan; Evans, of Tennessee; Warner Miller, of New York, or Haftlngs, of Pennsylvania with General Charles R. Grosvenor, of Ohio, as a pnsslbllty. These men were all carefully considered as to their pe culiar fitness for the positions by Mc Kinley"? managers, and for one reason or another were rejected. During the heat of the campaign John M. Thurs ton had been one of McKinley's most active supporters. At one time he was mentioned as the man to make Inn nomination speech for McKinley, and when Foraker was given that honor a di-ul was made whereby Thurston was to receive an equally high honor. When Hon. C. W. Fairbanks was In Cleveland three weeks ago, he was con sidered as the proper man to preside over the convention during Its first ar duous deliberations. His ketnness nnd sagacity ns one of the first lawyers of the Hoosler state and a leader of the state Republican forces peculiarly fit ted him for the task. Another strong argument In his favor was that by thus honoring Indiana, McKinley would be assured of its unanimous support and effectually kill- any attempt to boom Harrison at the Inst moment. TO BOOM V. S. GRANT. St. Louis. June 9. Hon. Richard C. Kerens and ex-Congressman Nathan Frank returned from Canton, Ohio, this morning, where they went In response to an Invitation from Major McKinley for a conference. Both gentlemen say they had a pleasant visit, but declined to state what was discussed at the con ference. Judge Trumbo, of Salt Lake, is In charge of a silver resolution which will be presented to the committee on reso lutions and Is canvassing the situation and securing signatures to the resolu tion fast as favorably inclined mem bers ot the committee arrive. Part of California?, delegation arrived today and Inaugurated, a boom for Ulysses S. Grant for the vl-presldency. George Knight, of San Francisco. Is with the party and will plnce Grant In nomination. It Is predicts d by the Cnll fornlan that unbounded enthusiasm will follow the oratorical effort, which Is sure to associate father and son and please the Grand Army sentiment. HANNA'S CONTINGENT. Cleveland, June 9. Wearing the air of a conquering host, the advance guard of the McKinley boom, with Manager M. A. Hanna in the lead, marched to the Union Depot at 1 p. m. today, where they embarked for the St. Lmils conven tion on the Big Four flyer at 1.40 p. m. No demonstration was made when the train pulled out of the depot, which was In accord with Mr. Hanna'B wishes. DALZELL AGAIN HONORED. Nomlnated the Tenth Time for (Con gress. ' ,, Pittsburg, Pa June 91-i-Tbe Twenty second district congressional Republi can convention was held here today. Hon. John Dalsell was honored for the tenth time by a unanimous nomination for congressman. In his address of accept ance. Congressman Dalxell said: "James G. Blaine never was so near the heart of the people as today the grand presi dential reformer. William McKinley, the baptlxer of protection." . - The speaker urged for a harmonious settlement of all differences at the St. Louis convention, demanding that there be no straddling on the money ques tion, and said that "all our troubles will vanish like the midsummer mist after break of day, with the new regime." SENATOR QUAY INTERVIEWED. He Uc(um to Forecast the Events nt M. Louis. Phladelphla. June 9. Senator Quay arrived here today from Washington on his way to his home In Reaver, whence he will go to the Republican national convention at St. Louis. A reporter asked him -whether he thought there would be any trouble over the silver question at St. Louis. The senator re plied: "1 have heard so much about that for the past three weeks I am tired of It." "Will there be a nomination on the first ballot for president?" was asked. "Yes." ' "Will It be McKinley?" "I think so." "Wilt you withdraw ns a candidnte for the presidential nomination?" The senator laughed and said: "I had said that I would shoot the first man who nsked me that question. Hut I am harmless; I am without arms. I am still a candidate." "Will your name be withdrawn be fore the first ballot is over?" "Not unless the other candidates do," replied Mr. Quay. "Will the Pennsylvania representa tive on the committee on resolutions stand out for a gold standard plut form ?" "He ought to," was the non-committal reply. "Who will be nominated for vice president?" "I don't know." "Do you think It will be Governor Hastings?" "Indeed, I cannot tell." Senator Quay further stated. that he had not heard of any effort to head off McKinley. llr. Quay left for Beaver tonight. MUSICAL SUCCESS. Many Persons Turned Away from the Pittsburg Ssngcrfcst Concert. Some Friction Developed. Pittsburg, Pa June . The occasion ally heavy showers today did not damp en the enthusiasm that has character ized the national Haetigerfest. The forenoon was occupied In rehearsals, and in the afternoon the first matinee concert was given. . The Cincinnati singing association mnde a hit In the matinee concert, by their rendition of Storch. "Charm of Night," this being the first opportunity that was had of realizing the actual purpose of the festival that of mass chorus singing. Director Louis Ehrgott had his sing ers under perfect control. and their work was precise, well modulated, with as much shading as a male chorus can show. The nudk-nc? at tonight's concert was a brilliant one and many people were turned away for Inek of room. The sp5 clal feature was the great chorus of 2, 000 voices, mnde up of visiting societies besides the local organizations. Much tnterst wan taken In the rendi tion for the first time of the cantata, "The New World," by Heinrich Zoell ner. of New York, the director of the Fest. The composition, which Is a school of Wagner, was very successful. The soloists wtre Frau Lohse-Klafsky and Mr. Cor.rud Behrens. A new sornr. "Now Will the Roses Bloom," by Carl A hi, of Pittsburg, arso evoked much applause and favorable comment. Some friction developed at reheasal today, amounting almost to a revolt of mnny of the singers and the orchestra, owing to the apparently arbitrary se verity of Director Zoellner, and to a difference between the latter and As sistant Director Ahi. It Is rosfllle that the difficulty Is not all over yet. How ever, the clash was k pt out of the two concerts today, and at each was the most exquisite harmony. The rush for seats for the concert Is unprecedented In the history of the Saengcrbund and the trensurer, Adolph Steddlng, Is con fident the receipts will meet all the ex penses of the Fest and that from the point of view of th? box office, the Pitts burg FeFt will be a great success.

HISTORY OF THE BOND SALES Drainage of old to Meet the Re qnirciiiciitK of Foreign Purchases Are the Cause of the TroubleThe Indittcrcncc of Congress. Washington, June 9. The reply of Hon. John (I. Carlisle, secretary ot the treasury, to the Inquiries of the sub committee on finance of the United States senate, charged with the inves tigation of the sale of bonds of the United States In the years 1894-5-6, was made public today. The secretary tractd the beginning of the trouble back to the closing year of President Hurrison'g administration and brings the history down to Mr. Cleveland's first issue of bonds In the following statement: . "Latgrly on account of ap rehetiFior.s In this country and abroad ais to the ability of the government of the United States to continue the current redemp tion of Its notes in gold coin, and mnln tain the parity of the two metals, the exports of gold during the fiscal year 1SS3. which closed June 30. 1893, reached the unprecedented amount of $108,680, 844, nearly all of which was withdrawn from the public treasury by the pres entation of notes for redemption. On the 81st day of December, 1S92. the free gold In the treasury amounted to $121, 2C6.6G .29. but by January 31, 1893, It had been reduced to $108,181,713.53, and on the 28th of February It had fallen to $103,284.2191. or only $3,281,218.91 In ex cess of the lawful reserve. The reserve fund would have fallen below $100,000, 0111 before March I, U93, If my prede cessor in ofllce l:a l not effected arrange ments hi January nnd February by which the mm iff about $S.25O,0'J0 In gold was procured from vertaltf' bankers nt New York l:i exchange for United States notes and otherwise. "Notwithstanding the most strenu ous efforts by the department to mali taln the $100,000,000 reserve Intact, the presentation of notes for redemption to procure gold fur shipment abroad con tinued to such an extent that, on tne 22d day of April. ISIS, fjr the first time since the fund was established. It be came necessary to use a part of It for redemption purposes, and It was re duced to $95,432,357; but It was after wards Increased by exchanges of oth:r forms of currency for gold, so that on the tenth day of August It had been fully restored, and there was on hand $103,883,290 In free gold; but by Decem tft r 30. 1S93. It had fallen to0.801,60l.l3, and was reduced on the 17th day of Jan uary. 1894, to the sum of $69,757,821. The Cash balance In the treasury excluding the current liabilities, but Including the gold reserve and all subsidiary and minor coin, was only $83,901,402. Very little gold was being received on ac count of dues to the government and It was therefore Imposslhl; to Increase th? reserve without resorting to the Issue and sale of bonds, under the authority conferred by the act of January 14. 1875, commonly known ns the resump tion act. At this date there was no free gold coin In the treasury, all the coin on hnnd being covered by outstanding certificates. The $69,757,821 then held as free gold was in the form of bullion." THE FIRST BIDS. Quoting the provisions of law which authorizd this course to be taken, Mr. Carlisle proceeds to state than on "Jan. 17, 1894, bids were Invited for fifty mil lions of B per cent, bonds on not to ex ceed a 3 per ckrA. basis. The proceeds of this sale amounted to the sum of $58,660,917.63, which was paid Into the treasury In gold coin and gold certifi cates. The circumstances which led to the next Issue are then described and the result of this proposition was that 486 bids w?re received, amounting to $178,836,050, nearly all of which were at rates which would yield to the Investors 3 per cent, or less upon the sums award ed to them. One bid for the whole sum of $50,000,000 'all or none,' upon the basis Of 2.878 per cent, being the most ad vantageous offer for the government that was made, was accepted, and the proceeds of the sale, $58,538,500, were paid Into the treasury according to the terms of sale. The payments into the treasury on account of this sale were not entirely completed until the Dec. 1, 1894, and it soon became evident that the trenrnclion had not been effectual to stop withdrawals nf gold and by Feb. R, 1893, the reserve had been reduced to $41,340,181, and several millions more had been demanded. "These large withdrawals were due almost entirely so far as could be as certained to a feeling of apprehension In the, public mind, especially among the holders of our securities abroad, which increased in Intensity from day to day until it reached the proportions of a panic In the financial centers, and It was evident to all who were familiar with the situation that unless effectual steps were promptly taken to check the growing distrust, the government would be compelled within a few days to suspend gold payments and drop to a silver and paper standard. The situa tion was so grave that the attention of congress was called to the subject by a special message from the president of the United States on Jan. 28, 1895." CONGRESS INDIFFERENT. "Congress," Mr. Carlisle says, "failed to pass any measure for the relief of the treasury) or to take any action calcu lated to rfllay the serious apprehensions then existing In the public mind and consequently, a contract was entered into by the secretary of the treasury on the eighth day of February, 1895, with August Belmdnt & Co., of New York, on behalf of themselves, and Messrs. N. M. Kothsehlds & Son, of London, and J. P. Morgan & Co., of New York, on behalf of them elven, and J. 8. Morgan & Co., of London, for the purchase of 3,600,000 ounces of standard gold, at the price of $17,804.41 per ounce, to be paid for by the delivery of United States bonds havtlfg thirty years to run and bearing four per oent. interest, and the gold to be de posited at the United States sub-treaa-urles. "By the terms of this contract not less than 'one-half of the gold was to be procured abroad, and the parties with -: V ' . THE NEWS THIS MORNING.

One ounce of standard gold was worth $18,604.65 anil the difference between that sum and the contract price $17, 804.41) represented the premium re ceived by the government on the bonds, making the price at which the bonds were necepted $104.4946. At this price they would yield to the Investor 3.75 per cent, per annum." A bill was introduced In the house of representatives to authorize the substi tution of 3 per cent, bonds payable In gold, for the 4 per cent, bonds described in the contract, but It failed to pass, and consequently the parties proceeded to complete the transaction of exchange of gold for 4 per cent. 30-year bonds, ac cording to the terms of the contract. The agreement by the put ties of the sec ond part hut they would, as far as in their power, make all legitimate efforts to protect the treasury of the United StttOi. against withdrawals of gold pend ing the performance of the contract was faithfully and efficiently carried out, am' no e-"ld was taken from the treas ury to be used in paying for the bonds, as had been done In the two previous sales, nor was any withdrawn for shlp mml until after the delivery of gold in exchange for bonds had been completed u:ic'cr the contract. After a large part of the gold had been furnished from abn od, the secretary, in order to pre vent disturbances In the rate of foreign 'ehange nt a critical period, and cre- ate a condition which would force gold exports and consequent withdrawals. acquiesced In a departure from the lineal terms of the contract requiring one-half of the coin to be procured abroad, and accepted deposits of gold then held In this country to complete the delivery. Replying to that part of the senate resolutions which directs the committee to investigate and report "what effect the bond sales had on the credit and business of the people of the United States," the secretary says that In his opinion the sales were necessary for the preservation of the credit of the gov ernment and thesecutityof ttu business Interests of the people, and that they. In fact, accomplished those results. DYNAMITE EXPLOSION. One Man Killed and Several Others Badly Wounded List of Dead and Injured. Johnstown, Pa., June 9.
